OTTAWA, Dec. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canada\u2019s unions are raising the alarm that many workers are facing a bleak winter of unemployment and under-employment with no immediate relief in sight.<\/p>\n

November\u2019s labour force survey released today by Statistics Canada showed high rates of long-term unemployment. A total of 1.5 million people are currently unemployed and looking for work; 400,000 have been without work for six months or longer. Another 317,000 workers dropped out of the labour market altogether last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scale of the jobs crisis has been without parallel in recent memory,\u201d said Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress. \u201cThe second wave of this pandemic is making life very difficult for many workers, many of whom have given up trying to find work for the time being. Beyond the immediate emergency supports that are helping to put food on the table for these families, government stimulus will be key to putting people back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The survey also showed that women continue to bear the brunt of child care responsibilities, with 55 per cent more mothers with young children working less than half their usual hours compared to this time last year.<\/p>\n

The federal government has made commitments towards the creation of one million jobs and investments in skills and training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re heartened that the government has promised to make investments in long-term care and child care, two areas that employ significant numbers of women, including many who are racialized,\u201d said Yussuff. \u201cHowever, time is of the essence and workers need to see concrete actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

A recent study showed that investment in early learning and child care would create 200,000 new jobs in child care provision and another 80,000 indirect jobs, including 8,000 construction jobs. It would also increase women\u2019s participation by as many as 725,000 additional workers.<\/p>\n

Austerity policies implemented soon after the 2008-09 global economic downturn led to sluggish growth, prolonged unemployment and growing precarity in Canada. In our current crisis, continued income support and expanded public investments will be crucial to help people weather the pandemic\u2019s second wave and to move the nation towards a strong recovery.<\/p>\n
